Hello everyone,
My husband and I will be staying in Wengen from August 11 to 17 (six nights). We are in our early-30s and looking forward to hiking in the mountains, but we have both been so busy with work that we haven't had time to thoroughly plan our itinerary.
I was hoping to get some feedback on the walks/hikes that we currently have in mind and suggestions for additions. I think what I'm struggling with is how to combine potential hikes in a way that makes logical sense for a day's activities, either multiple hikes in a day or hikes plus exploring one of the nearby towns/sights.
Rainy Day: Lauterbrunnen Valley (Lauterbrunnen - Staubbach Falls - Trummelbach Falls - Stechelberg)
Mannlichen - Royal Walk - Kleine Scheidegg - Wengernalp
North Face Trail
Schilthorn + Birg Thrill Walk
First - Bachalpsee
Murren - Gimmewald Walk
Schynige Platte to First (hardest hike we would do, if we feel up to it)
We were also thinking of taking a boat tour on Lake Brienz with a stop at Giessbach Falls on a cloudy/rainy day. We are planning to skip Jungfraujoch due to the high price. Also, if we will be traveling from Zurich to Wengen on August 11, spending August 11 to 17 in Wengen, and spending August 17 to 20 in Lucerne before returning to Zurich, does anyone have advice on which travel pass may work best? I will try to do the rough calculations once I have a better idea of our plans, but any direction would be helpful. Thank you all so much!
